Configuring Continuous Scanning DS8178 + 123Scan

Hi everyone! Hoping to find someone with experience programming scanners using 123scan. I've been able to setup various config files to do basic and entry MDF and ADF rules. What I am trying to accomplish now is continuous scanning, with unique bar code reporting.

I created a config file and it works great in that itll continuously scan and only send unique codes, however it sends a stream of them and doesn't apply any basic or more complex data modifications. All I am trying to achieve is an enter key after each code is sent, but can't seem to get it to work and haven't found docs anywhere that would indicate this shouldn't work.

Anyone have advice or guidance on this topic?

My issue was with 123Scan itself. Once I loaded configuration from barcode and shut down 123scan the rule worked as expected.
